If you are a Ugandan exile in Kenya, either just come back to Uganda or relocate. You are in Uganda already.

I’m aware of evil plans aimed at me. Well, I’ve made my humble contribution. I hope this country traces its soul. I hope a time comes when we ask ourselves: Is this the best we can be? I leave now, but: SILENCE ALL ALARM BIRDS, SNAKES WILL COME IN SILENCE. It was a pleasure.

Could we know who this policeman is, where he is based, and his phone number. Such small gestures need to be recognised and appreciated so as to motivate more people to spread love. Inbox

I’m authoritatively aware that ‘Parliament’ has secretly asked UCC @UCC_Official for all my communication details and the job has started - including tracing who I talk to, what, when, where, where I stay, the time of day/night I last communicate, movements, etc. This may include.

Dear Police officers, .Welcome back from the day’s labour and anxiety. We understand the pain you must be enduring internally, having to arrest young boys and girls your children’s age - whom you clearly know are innocent. While you have to take the orders, deep within you you.

When I received threats in 2023, Dr Besigye reached out to me, requesting to meet me. I wondered what we were going to talk about, but eventually arranged to meet him, on a Sunday. He drove from home to town, just to meet me! And what was the meeting about? Simply encouraging me:

Now that they are scheming to bump us off to silence the #UgandaParliamentExhibition, we have more reason to believe that there is more they are hiding in Parliament. The exhibition needs to continue for another week. They shouldn’t get used to intimidating us into silence.

Love or hate Bobi Wine, there is something magnetic about him - especially among younger people. How he hypnotises them into euphoric adoration you can’t precisely explain. You can’t ignore him. Is it about his personal qualities? Is it the widespread desperation and fatigue in

Gen. MK is a very organised man. I give it to him. The points were roughly 4, that is:.I) Observing protocol .II) Thanking for invitation .III) Commenting on Kyabazinga’s character .IV) Giving gift. He had about 4 papers, perhaps one per point. I was very impressed.

Sad he died like that!.It’s not easy to grieve him, but I do. He celebrated the killing & torture of others. But I still want to think that he was a hungry man not so reflective on how far the search for ‘food’ should go. He should’ve lived to know that violence is unsustainable.

If you have political ambitions, political wisdom dictates that you carefully choose which battles to fight & which to ignore. You ask: What do I benefit from this, what do I lose? You don’t race insults with those you seek to persuade to like u. We provoke & enjoy your mistakes
